Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is the perfect combination between proof and age. This full-bodied, sweet whisky has been described by some as “nectar” and colloquially referred to as "Lot B". The composition 70% Corn, 16% Wheat, 14% Barley mash, medium proof and 12 years of aging seems just right for a pleasant drink of whisky. This fine bourbon can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner sipper. The overall impression is rich and deep.
